.'>08 SHEPPARD : MARTIN SIMPSON AND HIS GEOLOGICAL MEMOIRS 
at " The Old Curiosity Shop " at 14 & 15 CM Street, and in addition 
to his brooches, etc., he now deals in Jet, Sea-weeds, Antique China, 
Japanese goods, &c." The four plates are also given indifferent order 
in the later edition. Thus, this second " fourth " edition really is the 
fourth. 
Both these " fourth " editions contain the usual advertisement on 
the last page, in reference to " The Fossils of the Yorkshire Lias," etc., 
but we are now informed that " A new edition is in preparatioii." This, 
as already shown, appeared in 1884. 
In Part II. of G. Markham Tweddell's " History of Cleveland 
(1855) is " The Fossils of the Yorkshire Lias," which is a short 
description of the Lias, and concludes with A Systematic Catalogue 
of the Fossils of Our Lias " (pp. 50-54), by M. Simpson. It follows 
an article by John Phillips. It is a reprint of this (4 pp., Whitby, no 
date, see Bibliography) that is in the collection at the British Museum 
(Natural History). There is one in the Whitby Museum, and I have 
another. The list is in three columns, and v\'as printed by " Silvester 
Reed, Printer, Old Market Place, Whitby." It bears the following : — 
"Just puhlished, price 2/6. A Descriptive Catalogue of the above 
Fossils, vrith a short outline of the Geology of the Yorkshire Coast ; 
this work being issued in 1855. 
The next separate publication by Simpson appears to be his — 
Geology of tlie Whitby District / Report / of / A Lecture / de- 
livered before the / Whitby Literary and Philosophical / Scciety. / 
By Mr. Martin Simpson. ' Re printed frc m the " Yorkshire Gazette," 
/ with additions, etc. 
''Whitby: /Printed by S. Reed, Old Market Plaoe, and West 
Cliff." 
This was a 12mo pamphlet of 12 pages, in small type. It is given 
in The Bibliography of Yorkshire Geology "f as [n.d. ?1840]. I had 
* This was issued in parts, four only of which were published. On 
p. 50 of Simpson's paper, the publisher adds, " For full notice of 
Mr. Martin Simpson's literary and scientific labours, see the chapters 
on Whitby in the present History, and the Second Series of ' Bards and 
Authors of Cleveland and South Durham." but apparently neither 
publication appeared.
